It happened to me last year on a 318d estate 2008, 80k cost me £3000 to get a second hand engine put in, which was the cheapest option even though it was still one of the N47 engines just from a 2009 car. I got shot of the car asap so cost in total £4000 with the loss I had to take on trading it. It had always been serviced from BMW as it was a lease car before me, and I had it serviced at AJ Robertson (indie specialist) in Brighton. WHen I asked BMW to pay for the repar/new engine they basically said get stuffed as I had gone outside there network, and as I hadnt bought it from there approved used cars.
Ba*****s
